I think a number of guys that could not stand to have sweat on the ball.

You know, and it's, Tom's got a very unique way with the towels and the talcum powder.

You know, Ryan's the center, so he's buying in.

They kind of got that worked out over Berkeley.

And, you know, when we're outside, it's hard to keep them dry.

Well, there's a lot of sweat going on. And so, yeah, it's fun, but, you know, when we're outside, it's hard to keep them dry. Boy, there's a lot of sweat going on.

And so, yeah, it's fun. But, you know, sooner or later, it's going to be a wet one.

You got to throw it. And Tom gets pissed if it's not a spiral. So that's going to happen sometimes.

Bruce Ariens on a Thursday morning talking about the thing that I'm surprised he didn't mention by name,

given Bruce Ariens proclivity for dabbling in words that you shouldn't say on TV, Chris.

One of the perils of playing professional football in Florida in August when the ball is present and the center is a hot and sweaty and the ball gets placed in a spot where some of the sweat can get transferred onto it before the quarterback gets it into his hands.

Otherwise known as Swampass. Swamp ass. Our first official training camp, you know it's training camp. And it just shows you it took

us three months, or not three months, but three weeks to get to the point where they're actually

talking about that. But it's, as you said, I think from the moment Tom Brady side with the

It is. It's a really underrated factor of playing quarterback there in Tampa Bay because, you know, you don't think about that, right? you think, oh, it's Florida, you know, it must be great to play football down there, you know, every day, you know, palm trees, sunny,

right, it's great, you know, and for a guy like Brady, who, you know, to me is a legend,

I mean, we know that, but even more of a legend than he gets credit for because of all the

success he had in New England. I mean, up in New England with all those elements. But it's real, Mike. Like you heard

Bruce Ariens say he likes to throw spirals. Yeah, I like to throw, I used to like to throw spirals

too. But there would be times in a game or in a, you know, training camp, 11 on 11 type, you know,

scrimmage or whatever. I would get the ball and it would just be like, oh, no, you know, the ball would be soaked. It'd be like, you know, carrying a wet watermelon. And I would go, oh, no, I'm not going to be able to like throw this with any velocity or power, spin it that way.
